This is the best rugged terrain tire out on the market. So this thing's been out for a while. This damn thing so good, they hadn't needed to redesign it. This right here is the Nitto Ridge Grappler. Now, this thing's quiet on the highways. Now, I'm gonna say it don't have any road noise. It has a minor road noise. Man, look at that sidewall. That thing's crazy. Super aggressive. Now, it's got a lot of siphon in there. Now, not like an all terrain. All terrain has more siphon. So if wet traction is important to you, stick with all terrain. If you want more of that beefy look, go to go to that rugged terrain. So everybody knows I'm the number one Nitto ambassador out here. Nitto pays me $0 to talk about their tires. The reason I talk about their tires is because they absolute make the best tires. Now, I always talk about high standards, and that's one thing Nitto has, is high standards. Now let's go ahead and throw this thing on the balancer and show you exactly how their standards are and why we choose Nitto. Now, everybody know before we do it, we're going to take out what stick. Take that damn sticker off. All right? Show you we ain't got no weight on this thing. We got her set up on LT. Road 4 is ready to go. Let's bounce out. All right, we got that thing rolling. We got that roller on. All right. Roller's about to come off. Let's take a look at it. Where we at. We had an ounce and a half here, Only two ounces here. Nine pounds of force, that's where you want to be. You want to be below that 26. That way, that thing rides like a Cadillac.
